	Equality Across the Pacific
		Honolulu is already the metropolis of the Pacific, and a great many Pacific islanders flock to it for higher education, medical care, an island-style but modern good life, etc. Hawaii is small enough a state that the tiny populations of the various islands could make themselves felt in its state legislature.
		The islands of the Pacific constitute a chain of steppingstones to the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand, all of them areas of great cultural affinity to the United States that might eventually be drawn into the Union as well.
		Pacific islanders are heir to a long tradition of national expansion which saw the United States spread first across a continent, then across oceans to work toward a world more united than disunited, more inclined to look for mutual interests and common causes than for a fight.

	SSR 74-19
		If the Trust Territory is a "foreign country" and its citizens are "citizens of a foreign country" under section 202(t)(2), the nonpayment provisions of section 202(t)(1) would not be applicable to such citizens should the Secretary find that the Trust Territory has a social insurance system which meets the conditions prescribed in section 202(t)(2).
		The agreement respecting the trusteeship for the Trust Territory was approved by the Security Council of the United Nations on April 2, 1947.
		The trust agreement (which was approved by both Houses of Congress by joint resolution prior to presidential approval) did not receive the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senate and therefore is not a "treaty" in the constitutional sense.

	revrul73-46
		The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands is a group of more than 2,000 islands and islets and situated in the western Pacific Ocean containing the Northern Mariana Islands, the Eastern and Western Caroline Islands and the Marshall Islands.
		Since the term "Territory" as used in the Internal Revenue Code refers only to the former Territories of Alaska and Hawaii (the "organized" territories) and since under the Trust Agreement the United States was not given sovereignty of the Trust Territory, it is not one of the territories of the United States.
		Neither is the Trust Territory a possession of the United States since Revenue Ruling 70-193, 1970-1 C.B. 163, holds that the United States does not have such sovereignty over the Marshall Islands (one of the island groups of the Trust Territory) as would justify the position that they constitute a possession of the United States.
